The Mellanox Quantum QM8700 represents the cutting edge in high-speed network switch technology, offering 40 ports of non-blocking HDR 200Gb/s InfiniBand connectivity. With an impressive 16Tb/s aggregate throughput and industry-leading sub-90ns latency, this intelligent switch is engineered for the most demanding HPC, AI, and cloud computing environments.
The QM8700 network switch incorporates Mellanox's groundbreaking SHARP (Scalable Hierarchical Aggregation and Reduction Protocol) technology, enabling computation within the network fabric itself. This approach dramatically accelerates collective operations essential for MPI applications and machine learning frameworks by processing data during transit rather than requiring multiple transfers between endpoints.
This advanced InfiniBand switch utilizes a cut-through switching methodology that begins packet forwarding before complete reception, minimizing latency to unprecedented levels. The integrated x86 ComEx Broadwell processor runs an onboard subnet manager capable of supporting fabrics with up to 2000 nodes, delivering immediate out-of-the-box functionality.
Scientific research, computational physics, and engineering simulations requiring maximum bandwidth and minimal latency.
Deep learning training infrastructures benefiting from accelerated collective operations and reduced latency.
Large-scale analytics, financial modeling, and real-time processing applications demanding reliable high-speed connectivity.
Industry's highest port density in a 1U form factor with unmatched 16Tb/s throughput for data-intensive applications.
80 Plus Platinum certified power supplies deliver exceptional energy efficiency, reducing operational costs.
Seamless integration with existing InfiniBand infrastructures protects previous investments while enabling expansion.
